referencing BlackBerry_App_Descriptor.xml in BlackBerry development

I am a BlackBerry developer. I am currently developing application for BB.

Theres one requirement, where I have to refer to BlackBerry_App_Descriptor.xml and get the version no. from it.

Then, I got to display this version no. in the app itself.

Does anybody know how do I achieve this?

Most of the information provided in BlackBerry_App_Descriptor.xml appears in the java application descriptor file (JAD) of the corresponding application.

So you need to read information from that file. To get the version no. of your application use the class net.rim.device.api.system.ApplicationDescriptor.

try this sample call...

String appVersion = ApplicationDescriptor.currentApplicationDescriptor().getVersion();
// appVersion will conatain the application version of the application.

thanks.
